That may be part of it, but frankly, like Buddhabreath, I was more focused on the audience than the hologram. I can see watching something like this, I've seen holographic presentations before at museums, etc. They're fine, and in the right circumstance can be cool. What creeped me out was the reaction of the crowd, responding as if this projection could see them all waving those glow sticks in unison, and the audience responding to the hologram as if it were a living thing. It's just strange and weird to me. At least with DiaperMetal, or whatever, there are real people playing. Eliciting the same response from a hologram is extremely strange to me. Why are you clapping? Who do you think can hear you?
In fairness, I guess there are live musicians onstage with the hologram, but you can barely see them. It's the hologram people are clapping for. I hope the programmers were there to hear it.
